The Abundant Life Blueprint

Here is today's communion meditation. We are in the 40 Days of Teshuva ( Teshuva = turn or repent). These are the 40 days leading up to the Day of Atonement, which in the Jewish culture was the holiest day of the year, because it was the one day of the year when the High Priest could enter the holy of holies to make atonement for the sins of the people.   Part of Teshuva is exa...

Here is today's communion meditation.   Today we start the 40 Days of Teshuva, which are the 40 days that lead up to the Day of Atonement. In the Jewish culture the Day of Atonement was considered the holiest day of the year, because it was the one day of the year when the High Priest could enter the holy of holies to make atonement for the sins of the people.  This time of year is a rem...

Here is today's communion meditation. Lately we have been talking about walking in the fullness of everything God has for us. John 10:10 says, " The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Jesus came so that we can have "zoe," life, which is the life of God or said another way, life connected to God, and have it to the ful...

Here is today's communion meditation.   1 Peter 2:9 says, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." This is an amazing promise for us! We are God's special or treasured possession, and he has called us into his wonderful light.  Lately the phr...

Here is today's communion meditation.   John 1:16-17 says, " From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.…" We have fullness in Christ, whenever we are feeling unfulfilled it is because we are out of position because we are out of the fullness. When we are in his fullness we receive grace upon grace...

Here is today's communion meditation.  John 21:25 says, " Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written." This is pretty amazing to think about! How could Jesus do so many things in such a short amount of time? God has ordained or written about every moment of our day, and I think Jesus walked...

Here is today's communion meditation.  Yesterday we talked about John 4:35 which says, "Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest." In the next verse John 4:36 it says, "Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper...

Here is today's communion meditation.  There are a lot of Bible verses about lifting up our eyes. When we lift up our eyes we become more present and aware of all of the amazing opportunities God is bringing our way, but we often miss those opportunities because our eyes are down.  Here are a few verses to meditate on today: Genesis 13:14, "And God said to Abram after Lot had separated f...

Here is today's communion meditation. Lately the topic of "lift up your head," keeps coming up  and the Bible has a lot to say about this phrase. Here are some verses to meditate on today. But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. Psalm 3:3 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts o...

Here is today's communion meditation. Matthew 22:36:40 says, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  40 On these two commandments hang...

Here is today's communion meditation. In the book of Ezra, the Jewish people are working to restore the temple of God. And in Ezra 6:14 it says, "So the elders of the Jews continued to build and prosper under the preaching of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah."   So if the people continued to build and prosper under the preaching of Haggai and Zechariah... what did they preach? The book o...

Here is today's communion meditation. This year our message is "God's Saved the Best Until Now," and this comes from when Jesus turned water into wine. Turning water into wine is amazing, because wine takes a long time to make, but God can collapse time frames. Amos 9:13 MSG says, "“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able...

Here is today's communion meditation.  Yesterday we talked about blessing our spouses, and recently I came across a saying that it's the intangible things in relationships that really matter. Things like energy, connection, presence, honor, peace, and gratitude are much bigger factors in our relationships than the tangible things.  I once heard someone say that spiritual things are thing...

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle update.  During August, it is hot, and a time of increased pressure. We are approaching the Day of Atonement( Yom Kippur on Sept 24/25), which is the deadline for the year on God's calendar. As we move toward the deadline pressure increases, but time also seems to slow down, which allows us to get more done. During this time of the year, there is often a passi...

Here is today's communion meditation. In 2 Chronicles chapter 32 King Hezekiah was healed by God and then in 2 Chronicles 32:31 it says, "But when envoys were sent by the rulers of Babylon to ask him about the miraculous sign that had occurred in the land, God left him to test him and to know everything that was in his heart." I came across this verse the other day and asked God why he left Hezeki...

Here is today's communion meditation.   In 2 Chronicles chapter 32 King Hezekiah and Jerusalem are being attacked by the King of Assyria, but God miraculously delivers them and in 2 Chronicles 32:22 it says, " So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others. He took care of them on every side." Our lives have...

Here is today's communion meditation.  Our message for this year of 2023 is "God Saved the Best Until Now." And our message for August is, " The Best Never Expires."  Luke 6:27-28 MSG says, "“To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the supple moves of prayer for...
